Addressing the audience during her welcome speech, SABIS^® Yas Island teacher, Ms. Kelly Owens, said: “At SABIS^® Yas Island, we believe in educating well-rounded individuals who have a strong academic foundation, an acute sense of social responsibility, and a deep appreciation of music and the arts. We are grateful to the musicians who are here with us tonight. The beauty of your work will surely expand the hearts and minds of every single person in the audience, including our very own students.”
